Just last year, a bloated Maradona disappeared not only from the limelight but nearly from life, as he battled against drug addiction.
But a few months ago, he returned very much alive, slimmer and more intelligible.
This remarkable turnaround began in 2004, when he went to a rehabilitation clinic in Cuba. A stomach-stapling operation in Colombia earlier this year put the final touches to his renewed image.
Now he seems to be everywhere, moving from one arena to the other as he seeks to remain in the public eye.
